Member Introductions and NewsA place where members can introduce themselves and post occasional news about themselves.

G'Day all, I have posted a couple of times & thought I'd better introduce myself.
Although my nickname, Oldmadham sounds like the name of a town, it is actually descriptive.

I'm old, mad, & an Amateur Radio operator!

I've been lurking for a while, & decided to sign up, as the dicussions are very interesting.
My background is in TV & Radio Broadcasting, mainly at Transmitter sites, but with a fair bit of Studio time included.
After I got a redundancy from my last TV job, I had a bunch of fairly weird short term Tech jobs till retirement--- pretty much the story for most older Techs.

Hmm !! Only a few stations under my belt here, BUT it seems us oz-mob have a similar background.
Although I sneaked away and built some big mainframe poo ters.
OYE !! no such thing as old aussie!! WE are just more extinguished !!!

Dunno about that. One year while involved in the Tour of Mull rally, I noticed a sign saying that this land was Australian! Macquarie's mausoleum or something like that, so there may be bits of Oz scattered around firther than you might think. The bit I found is surrounded by Scotland, though. No customs post, though.
